Walking and Talking with . . . Deborah Heiligman!

September 12, 2017 by Betsy Bird   Leave a Comment

It’s back! It’s back! Steve Sheinkin’s regular series of conversations with great writers of books for youth has returned from its summertime hiatus. Steve has such a fantastic ear for the best parts of any dialogue, and considering the sheer amount of buzz that Ms. Heiligman’s novel Vincent and Theo has been garnering in 2017 (it already won The 2017 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Nonfiction), this particular talk strikes me as quite timely.
